Why do people bring dogs into restaurants?

I was in a nice restaurant, when I noticed a dog under a table. The owner got up & went to the salad bar & the dog followed. I complained to the waiter that took no action. So, I got up & left without paying. What's with people? How could the owner be blind if he walked to the salad bar? The dog wasn't "emotional support" because the man wasn't in a panic. The dog was his pet, period. However, I did get a free meal, I won't be back to pay my bill. How clean is that kitchen?

If it was a service dog they are allowed everywhere.

should not be allowed

1) Service animals. People use them. 2) As long as the dog isn't bothering anyone, what's the big deal? We have numerous restaurants that permit dogs during the warmer months. It's really not a big deal.

I would have thought that only guide dogs for the blind would be allowed into such places. I would not wish to eat in a restaurant which had dogs inside, unless it was a guide dog.

They don't in great numbers, except in hippiedom.

You don't see this happen very often unless it's a service dog.

You’re a POS for not paying. Excuses to get **** for free, of course what’s new.

The new “emotional support animal” bs is ridiculous. My daughter is deathly allergic to dogs and these idiots bring their pets to the store, restaurants (against health regulations) and anywhere else they want. For some reason they think they are above the law.

Service dogs are allowed in restaurants. Pets are not You left without paying so you are just a common thief

They want everyone to see their dog and they want everyone to know they are a victim of some frailty .

To show the cook. They must be young, tender, fat. They are cooked special. High priced dining there. Normally they are brought in the back door. Some form of special ocation is coming up to bring in a dog.

It used to be standard practice, and nobody died.

Emotional support dogs don’t need to just be there when the owner is in a panic. They’re supposed to be there in the event that they do. You’re hoenstly just a jerk

If the place allowed the dog in, you are a jerk for not paying. If it is so important to you, ask before you go in and order, that way you can avoid the situation where you showed your own 'poor breeding and training."
